10 Glasgow UFO sightings last year as reported numbers rise across Scotland

The fascination with searching for strange objects in the sky is a tale as old as time - and it shows no signs of slowing down.

10 Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO) were spotted above Glasgow last year, with reports across Scotland up in 2022 from 43 in 2021 to 52.

UFO Identified - an organisation founded by ufologist Ash Ellis - collated the sightings and examined the data to help give a better understanding of what may be happening in the skies above our city.

They include reports from MUFON (Mutual UFO Network), BUFORA (British UFO Network) and NUFORC (National UFO Reporting Centre), as well as official reports submitted to Police Scotland.

Sightings include a "stationary sphere" with a jet stream, a "disc-shaped object with what looked like Christmas tree lights on the front of it" and "missile-shaped object moving at great speed".

Take a look at the details of the 10 UFO sightings in the city last year:
